One of the few bright lights on the channel, formerly known as the Clinton News Network, has been a conservative strategist and Trump supporter, Scott Jennings. Time and again, he has gone into the lion’s den to take on deranged leftists.
On Friday night, he again battled his adversaries singlehandedly as they ganged up on him when the subject turned to remarks made by Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark and the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA).
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Clark, the most iconic basketball figure since Michael Jordan, alienated her enormous fanbase when she bent the knee to the woke mob during an interview with Time Magazine last week. During her interview, she chose to frame her success as “White privilege,” which does not exist.
“I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a White person, there is privilege,” Clark said.
“A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players, she added. “This league has kind of been built on them.”
During his appearance on Newsnight with Abby Phillip, Jennings pointed out that Clark was bending her knee to the mob and ripped her social justice-like language in the Time interview.
The entire panel immediately started screaming, “That’s not true!” But Jennings remained undeterred and went on to slam Clark for allowing her brain to be captured by woke ideology.
This also caused the panelists to whine, and Jennings dug in the knife further. He pointed out the absolutely damning truth regarding the WNBA: despite Clark single-handedly boosting their ratings, the organization still lost tens of millions of dollars.
After CNN contributor Cari Champion whipped out the race card and said the league was successful because of black women, Jennings hit her with another reality check: the league is being propped up by investors. This caused her to start screaming all over again.
Washington Post opinion columnist Catherine Rampell then jumped in and tried to claim tried to portray Clark’s offended fans as snowflakes before getting smoked by Jennings. This caused more outrage among the liberal panelists.
Jennings then closed with an important message: no matter how hard Clark panders, it will never satisfy her haters because they will just demand another pound of flesh. He also correctly noted how sports are the great equalizer when it comes to race and exposes white privilege as nonexistent in the process.
WATCH:
Caitlin Clark is the best thing to happen to the WNBA, and it’s sad that her co-workers hate her for it. She’ll learn a tough lesson – no matter how much you say “my truth” and apologize for your “white privilege,” it will never be enough for the woke mob. We debate on @cnn! pic.twitter.com/qCbJ5Qx6p1

Transcript:
Champion: Why is she being bullied for acknowledging something that is smart, true, and factual?
Jennings: Well, a couple of things: Whether you’re an athlete or anyone else, when I hear you use the phrase “my truth,” I immediately discount everything else you say. Because there isn’t your truth or my truth, there’s just the truth. And when you start using phrases like that…
CNN Panelists: That’s not true! That’s not true!
Jennings: Your brain has been captured by something I don’t really respect.
CNN Panelists: That’s not true!
Jennings: Number two, the attention the league got this year was amazing, and it was all because of her; she’s an amazing player … The league still lost $40 million … When you talk about respecting someone who has built something, what did they build? A league that loses money every year?
Champion: The reason why it’s still up and still running whether it is losing money or not, is because of the black women who are in this.
Jennings: Isn’t it because of the investors?
Champion: No! No! Scott, stop it! You stop it now! Stop it! Stop it!
Catherine Rampell: It says more about the people getting offended by her than her…
Jennings: I think people are disappointed she appears to have been captured by the woke left.
(crosstalk)
Jennings: And I feel a little bad for her because she’s going to learn that it’ll never be enough. No matter how much of the phrasing, no matter how much of the groveling you do, it’ll never be enough for the people in that league who hate her guts.
Phillip: Why do you assume she is trying to pander?
Jennings: Because this is the language of the pandering!
Jennings: When I hear the term “white privilege,” sports is the one place where no one in the field has any privilege at all…she doesn’t get any extra points when she shoots because she is white…sports is the great equalizer.
